Just wanted to wish you all a Happy Friday! Especially those of you with a skid free weekend!

I love this site! Sometimes it reminds me: to be thankful, reminds me not to act like the mom, makes me mad, sad, and every emotion in between. I rejoice in your accomplishments with your skids and So/Dh's.

We have the skids this weekend, but I am not dreading it. My FDH had an amazing romantic night last night so I am still feeling warm and fuzzy. Still on cloud nine.

When that wears off, I always have a glass a wine or Captain Morgan and diet near me!

Do any of the rest of you turn to a "nice" drink when the skids are around....it really does help to take the edge off.

I'm thankful that SD14 no longer visits (feel bad for DH, but there's nothing I can do really) and yes, would almost ALWAYS turn to a drink or a dozen when I knew she was coming over.

MUCH easier to stick with my diet now that I'm not drinking nearly as much!!!

Enjoy your weekend Smile GO BRONCOS!

Really? I thought a shot of bacardi or capt was at least 110 calories! Gonna have to look into it!

Oh and Peyton is the reason I'm a football fan! I grew up in Detroit, so the Lions were my "home" team and yeah, well, they've sucked ass most of my life. I saw Peyton play once and instantly became a Colts fan. Now that he's here in Denver, I get to actually root for the "home" team!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I am sooooo glad you pointed that out for me. Now I don't have to feel guilty if I decide to indulge.

DH wants to go over to his old high school friend's house for the game tomorrow. I'm not feeling it. His buddy is cool, but the wife is really uptight and "proper" and their two kids are terrors. I can't be myself, have a few drinks and start screaming at the TV at their place. Guess I'll just be hanging alone at home watching the game.

DH grew up here. All of his family and friends are here. I have NO ONE but him here in Colorado. So unless I go to his buddy's, I'm basically on my own. Which is fine, but sometimes I'd rather NOT, you know?

I love my stepkids, but even I look forward to my quiet weekends. When all three kids are there it's a freaking ZOO. No skids this weekend, so just the one. Got some girl scout stuff to do but other than that, quiet time!!! Hurray!

The first weekend we had both of my husband's daughters (2 BMs), I was drinking vodka.
My husband asked, "So, you need to drink to be around my kids?"
To which I replied, "Yep."

Thankfully, both are now grown. But a White Russian does sound good!

We have Stwit living here so I dont have "stepfree" any more but I have bio free and I always look forward to it. And their my own kids! And since I act like SD doesnt exsist and she wont be in the same room. With me I make sure I am stuck to DH ass all weekend. Im gonna count this weekend and ill let you know how many times I see her and how many times either DH interacts with her. I think you guys will freak.
